I found this in the bargain bins and was mighty surprised - rather than toss off a dated 80s retro flashback, Bootsy has delivered the perfect blend of old-skool vs. nu-school funk to bring him up to date - with the help of tasty vocal contributions from LADY KIER (DEEE-LITE!), ROSIE GAINES (ex-PRINCE "Diamonds and Pearls" amazing singer!), FATBOY SLIM, KELLI ALI (ex-SNEAKER PIMPS), this is really a surprisingly consistent jam of the year! The biggest mystery is the singer "ONE" who sounds awfully a lot like PRINCE (?!) - is it PRINCE or one of his psuedonyms or what?! Whatever the verdict, many of these tracks sounds like "LET'S WORK/WANNA BE YOUR LOVER" stripped-down early PURPLE ONE FUNK! Get it now - this was first released on Warners on import, now licensed to THUMP, who def have good ears! Support funk, BUY BOOTSY!!

If this CD doesn't get you moving, then you may be dead! It is classic Bootsy catipulted into the 21st century, with the help of Snoop, Kelli Ali, and Fat Boy Slim, just to name a few. But Bootsy doesn't leave his funk behind, the lay-down beat is there as is Booty's classic style. This is a great late night CD, or club booper, as it keeps you moving and grooving. Bootsy has a lot of stars, but he deserves five more for this great CD. Keep thumping, Boots!

Boosty's in rare form here,kinda reminded me the 1977 tour in Oakland ca. ABSOULTLY one of the best shows ever.That should be on cd for the fans.I digress, sorry this cd is dope...All the raps are tight ,bass lines are smooth .Ohh and by the way BABY!!! It's a dreamship surprise . you can contact me ,at my e-mail address cbmiles1104@yahoo.com

The album is Funky, Jazzy, Soul, Gospel all rolled in one. The other artist give it a groove that is sweet, tender and is a light to those who has the breath of life and is a living soul. I think that this is one of Bootsy's great down to eart sounds. It brought me from the edge of depression jamming and enjoying bootsy at his best. The mix master did a great job with the volume of each voice on the album. It takes the Bootsy Fans to many deminsions. I purchased the album because, "I'm Funky and I Know it." Don't Let Them Put You Down, took me on a trip when people around me only talk negetive and step on my spirit. Love Gangster reminded me of what I wished everyone in the world would do. Just by having Macy Grey sing on the album put it in another universe. "I Get So Emotional." "If I Get This Kind of Love Whats an Album Bill?" Soul Sister is like the Black Hole of the Big Band, like Eve the Mother of Us All. This is like the writing of the Constitution. Its for all the People. "If You are Funky and You Know It, You Will Enjoy This Album, an Adventure in Wonder Land. Power to the Funkateers. If someone listens to this album and cannot groove on it, they are not a true Bootsy Fan and a George Clinton fan. One more thing, "This albums has some low down dirty funk, pure funk, uncut funk. Funk it up now cause, "Can't No Body Do Me Like Jesus, Can't No Body Do Me Like Jesus." I Probly can say more, but I think you can understand and jam on this UNCUTFUNK. "PEACE BE STILL BROTHERS AND SISTERS." These worlds is from joyfull noise, loving the Bootsy Sound. GOD BLESS EVERYONE. ANTHONY J.

While listening to this CD, I was pretending I was at a Funk Party. This is a great CD if you enjoy funk music. Great guest artitsts like Lady Kier, Snoop, One etc.

YOU CAN JAM TO ALL THE FUNKY STUFF ON THIS CD.

this is one of the worst funk albums of all time, i own all of bootsy's cd's and this is one is probably the worst. Corny rapping, weak bass lines, pretty much all the tracks have drum machines. Bootsy's Blasters of the universe is infinitley better than this schwag-ass bunk funk. The music smells worse than a fifty cents concert

I am a long time Bootsy fan, love all of his previous works, even the projects he's done without George, but this one takes the cake i mean this is hourable, whatever happen to the nice chous Bootsy use to have, and who are all these people on this CD, I know Snoop, but none of these guys can bring the FUNK like George Clinton, man bootsy this is your worst work ever, and I thought I'd never have to say that. Stick to your original sound forget trying to blend in with the new because most of this stuff out here is pure garbage anyway, and that's probably why your CD came out that way. Stick to what you do best, and ask George to help on your next project, see that;s what made yall different from the rest yall got that original flava that last a life time, these new groups, their just fly by night one hit fonders, nobodies gona look for their music in the next 10 years, don't bring anymore garbage out like that again Bootsy, you need to come correct mor don't come at all.
